Review: Christ Recrucified

Thoughtful, intelligent, beautiful, and at times, even funny, this is the third book I've read by Kazantzakis, and it's quite possibly my favorite so far. In a nutshell, this is a story of Christ reimangined. The cast is set, and the villains are the clergymen who only "love" Christ because it gives them power. But when a true representation of Christ comes along, it scares them, just as Christ did back in his era. What follows is an unorthodox novel that has a lot to say, and an elegant way of saying it. The ending will make you angry, but how else could it possibly end with a title like that? A masterful achievement.

So, where are all the pictures of naked ladies?

Not here, my friend, not here. Here are just a smattering of the many things I write and find interesting (perverse and exciting). Indulge, leaf through the collection of rare comics, try the hummus. Just don't go through the door at the end of the closet. It's not Narnia. Believe me. I checked...To sexy results.
